ngBoost Tab "Repository"

A repository is a place on your server outside the public view. Any visitor of your site is not able to see the content of the repository, because the place is outside of what the web server offers to the public. Only programmable access is supported.

The repository is used for backup copies from the file system and the database and for core and module archives for the site. ngBoost can load distro archives from the distribution server directly into the repository (that is a server/server transfer). No more need to use Ftp or similar to transfer from server to client and from client to server. ngBoost also is able to decomress archives of the tar/tgz formats.

To use (and create) a repository a very 1st time click the link VerifyRepositoryPath. The verification should be ok, but may fail in case ngBoost is not able to find a permitted place outsite the web servers public scope. In such case, the only one who can help is the system user of the site by manually creating a directory named ".repository". Anycase, the repository only can be used when the place is offline to the public.

To see the content of the repository, click ListRepository, where actions are offered:
Dir to look into an archive.
Recover to restore backed up data.
Purge to delete a backup file if no more needed.
